“The cost of living in Istanbul is cheaper than Toronto, Vancouver or Calgary—how could Canada compete?” As a digital nomad in Istanbul, Jordan Bishop gets to live in a thriving city without breaking the bank:

"In Turkey, I can live in one of the world’s great metropolises—without breaking the bank”“What if you just moved anywhere in the world and worked online and lived like a king, instead of living like a schmuck somewhere like New York?” asks Jordan Bishop

When I first started out, I was travelling around the world, living out of my backpack and running a travel blog that made me just enough money to buy my next plane ticket. I supplemented that with travel writing, which didn’t pay much, but it gave me enough to live. I would spend summers in Berlin and winters in Buenos Aires or Chiang Mai. I met the most amazing young people from around the world, who inspired me with their global perspectives.

The low cost of living in Istanbul meant I could take the next step and expand my business, a personal finance blog that provides financial guidance to readers, mostly Canadians. The site generates revenues in dollars and euros, while my expenses are mostly in Turkish liras.

In the past couple of years, the post-pandemic proliferation of remote working opportunities, plus the spiralling cost of living in Canada, have made this kind of lifestyle even more popular—but even though it benefits people like me, I know, it’s not all upside, especially for the locals. Digital nomads tend to congregate in specific neighbourhoods, like Istanbul’s Galata, Mexico’s Roma Norte or Lisbon’s Alfama.
